[Takayasu's disease (aortic arch syndrome). Usual and unusual angiographic appearances. Report of 15 cases treated by arteriography (author's transl)].
The authors report 15 cases including 9 controlled by autopsy, and discuss the usual and unusual angiographic appearances in this disease. These cases strictly fulfilled the criteria necessary for diagnosis. The two angiographic forms seemed to correspond to different therapeutic indications. Takayasu's disease remains a disease of young women and the angiographic diagnosis can only be made during the obstructive phase.
